1. Don't try to be original + Don't be afraid to steal good ideas from your favorite tracks (Good artists copy, while Great artists Steal)

2. Limit yourself, don't go out there and get 20 different plugins, fully learn one and then buy another.

3. You don't need good gear when you're starting out

That first one isn't something I'd recommend doing. Imo you should just make music and not be afraid of sounding like something else that is already out there.
Straight up stealing just sounds like Caked Up lmao

1. Experiment with stuff. Try making something horrible sound good. Do something you'd never think of doing. This way you will find new ways to approach making sounds and it can really spice up your sound design.

2. Try new genres to learn more about producing outside your comfort zone. That way you will become a better overall producer rather than just being a really good for example dubstep producer. New genres also can give you some really unique and fresh ideas for new songs.

3. Don't compare yourself to others too much.
It's good to look at your stuff and compare it to something else in terms of improving your sound but being too self critical can really eat your motivation. It's good to focus on being an individual. Just focus on your own stuff and you'll create your own sound.

oh and to add one more

4. HAVE FUN. Don't make it too serious. Just have fun with it. This way it won't eat up all your motivation and it will be way more interesting over time.

I hope these helped =D

Sound Design / Re: Dealing with "emptiness"
« on: January 07, 2016, 07:39:41 am »
Honestly it's good to leave in some empty space.
That way your song will sound more dynamic and if there's too much empty space, you can take care of it by mastering properly to fill those gaps.
More layers like pads, extra leads or sound effects like white noise or other fx can always fill up the song.
I like to think of the song as a big bottle. All your instruments are big rocks that fill up the bottle nicely but there are a lot of gaps left in between.
These additional layers and effects are like sand that smoothly fills up those gaps and makes it a full bottle aka a full song.
That's how I see it =D
